It’s exciting to see my story “The Inner Vixen” mentioned by readers, especially because I really like the way that story turned out. It was based on something that happened to me (the whole mid section in the gig venue, I just didn’t end up with the guy ;) and when I got the call from Rachel I thought that experience might be a good starting point for a she-dom story.
Working with Rachel is always exciting. She comes up with great themes and wants writers to push beyond the obvious. With HE'S ON TOP and SHE'S ON TOP she wanted writers to really get inside the head of the dominant, to explore what made the character tick and how they felt about their sub. That was challenging and exciting, and whilst I knew my experience with “Daniel” had potential, it was unnerving writing something that was based so wholly on my own experience. Normally I draw on my experiences here and there for my short stories, weaving in images, people, places, dreams, openings and endings, but not so much as this one. Anyway, there’s a bit of trivia for anyone who has read it!
It was a totally gorgeous day here in the north of England. Hope it was good where you are.
